INSERTABLE JOINT.

Application filed September 27, 1324. Serial No. 740,333.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN J. MEYER, a

citizen of the United States, and-a resident" of the city of New Yorlgboro'ugh of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Insertable Joint, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to insertable joints for soil pipes and the like and has for an object to provide an improved construction which is formed of a minimum number of parts and which may be readily mounted in place without injury to the pipe above or A still further object of the invention is.

to provide a structure wherein shiftable means are provided for supporting a superimposed pipe sectionat diife-rent points.

A still further object of the invention is to provide aninsertable joint which is in part a continuation of my co-pending'application, Serial No. 708,811. I

In the accompanying drawing- 1 Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation of part of a soil pipe line arranged in a building, certain parts beingbroken away for better illustrating the construction;

Figure 2 is a side view of the upper end of the inserted pipe section shown in Figure 1. p Y

Figure dis a sectional view through Figure 2, .on line 33.

Figure a is a transverse sectional line l-e of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a View similar to Figure 4 but disclosing a slightly modified construction. p I

Figure 6 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a set screw and associated parts embodying certain features of the invention.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view through an inserted joint and the view on lower end of the superimposed pipe the sanie disclosing a modified construction to that illustrated in Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by ini ine'rals, 1 indicates part of abuilding and 2 the soil pipe line In order to put an j extra section, as for instance, the Y section 3, it is necessary to remove one of the sections of the line 2 and in removing the same the section is usually broken, As the various sections of line 2 have. bells or hubs, an ordina-r section cannot be placed in position un ess all the superimposed pipe sections are removed or raised, which is usually in'ipossiblc. To obviate this necessity, a sin- 'gle inserted pipe section e is provided and is made of a special construction whereby it maybe readily inserted and certain parts thereof adjusted to cause proper support f the superimposed pipe sections arranged above the section It will also be noted that the Y section 3 is of usual construction provided with a hub or hell 5' and the lowermost pipe section (3 of the superii'nposed sec- 7 tion of the pipe line 2 is also of the usual construction having a hell or hub 7 and a straight body adapted to fit into the hub or hell 9 of section 1. The lower end of section el is fitted into the hub 5 in the usual 8 manner but before this is done the hub 9 is telescoped over the lower end of section 6 until the lower end of section 4 may be swung over the hubal. After this has been done the parts are lowered into the position shown in Figure 1 while the sections 6 and other superimposed sections are supported by a wire or in any desired manner tempo rarily.

The removable abutment or bar 10 is 9 moved into position as shown in Figures 1,

3 and l beneath the lower end ofthe section 6 whereupon said section is properly supported and'the temporarysupports connected with said section maybe removed.

Instead of arranging the abutment bar 10 in the upper recess 11, it might be positioned in the lower recess 12 in case the lower end of the pipe section 6 extends downwardly past the opening 11. In order to assist the whereby an air-tight connection may be seecured. Preferably, the screw 13 is positioned diametrically opposite the abutment bar 10 though it could be arranged at some other position if desired. p r V I As indicated particularly iar-Figures 2 and 3, the abutment bar 10 is provided with a long smooth section fitting into the bores or recesses 12, one of which is formed with a ti readcd section tor receiving a threaded enlargement 17 of bar 10. A squared endlS is provided on the abutment bar 10 for receiving a wrench. Associated with the abutment bar 10 is a plug 19 which is similar in shape and construction to the enlargement 1'7 but merely acts to close either of the passageways 1.1. and 12. It is, of course, evident that the s 'rew 13 may be used or may not be used as desired, though ordinarily one of these screws is desirable as it presents a more even support for the pipe section (3. It will also be noted that both the screw 13 and the bar 10 are positioned to be out of the direct line of the bore of section 6 whereby there will be an unobstructed passage-way. The bar 10 and screw 13 also present in a certain sense a false bottom for receiving oakum, waste or other similar material 20 above which is arranged the packing lead 21 for making a gas-tight joint.

In Figure 5 a modified form of the inven tion is shown wherein abutment bars 22 and 23 are provided, said bars being similar to the bar 10 but instead of being arranged in vertical alignment they are arranged in horizontal alignment and thus present a support on diametrically opposite sides of the pipe section 6.

In Figure '7 another modified form of the invention is shown wherein the inserted pipe section t is provided with a solid hell 9 of any desired construction provided it is formed with one or more threaded bores 2% for receiving the screw From an examination of this figure it will be noted that the screw 25 is almost parallel. with the side walls of the pipe section t though suiiicient-ly inclined to project therein to provide a iroper support for the pipe section 6 and yet permit the pipe section to be adjusted vertically upon the rotation of the screw 25.

What I claim is:

1.. :in insertable joint for soilv pipes and the like, comprising a pipe section having a the threaded portion of said aperture, and a threaded plug being threaded into the enlarged threaded portions of the other apertures, said apertures being of the same size and shape and the threaded plug being of the same size and shape as the enlarged threaded portion of said rod whereby they may be transposed to cause said rod to act ...i11.1p0se.d pipe section 2.
